Yes, the entire thing consists of Nazi punching, a weirdly divisive topic in the current bizarro political climate we find ourselves in.

That's not just commentary on the recent rash of white nationalism that's broken out under Trump, it's actually what you do in the video game. It's what you've always done in the long-running video game franchise, ever since the original Wolfenstein revolutionized PC gaming by ushering in the first-person shooter genre over three decades ago.

In the first of MachineGames' Wolfenstein reboots, you find yourself in a Europe utterly defeated by the German scourge, thanks to new German mech tech that makes them nigh unstoppable. Protagonist B.J. Blazkowicz wakes from a coma and does his level best to take down the Nazi regime. Alas, we come to learn that in the sequel the Nazis have taken over America as well (MachineGames is ripping a page from Phillip K. Dick's Man in the High Castle here) so it's off to the good old USA to punch and, well, mow down Nazis with gleeful abandon.

Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus

Yes, it's both a little sad and a little ironic that a trailer about punching Nazis isn't just a reference to the game, but also to our own befuddled world. At least the Nazis in our version of America come with Tiki torches instead of giant mech dogs.

Interestingly, this game is releasing just before the launch of Call of Duty: World War II. And while the CoD franchise has also dipped its toes in the waters of the second Great War in the past, judging by its campaign trailer this will be the first in the series to really address the horrors of the Holocaust head-on. Indeed, few video games have ever really dealt with that black spot in human history.

Either way, it should be a good season for punching Nazis in video games. If you're non-violent in the real world, but have found yourself boiling with rage at the rise of these neo-fascists, this might be just the catharsis you need.
